last week i got a mini-battle with a guy trying to get a puck out from beneath both of our feet. he got pissy and focused more on jamming the stick between my legs, so i just turned 90 degrees and started skating away since it had just been poked to someone else. that ripped the stick right out of his hands, then just kicked it out of my way in as natural of a motion as i could. ended up like 50 feet away from him. whatever.
